The alpha 2 is self-aligning with a 3-axis swivel design. hook-up becomes simplified using the auto-locking arms. simply pull the towed vehicle close enough for the arms to reach the baseplate, attach the arms, and they will lock into place once the towing vehicle is pulled forward. the patented non-binding latches create a hassle-free disconnect. the tow bar easily folds away and stores on the back of the towing vehicle. the arms are protected from road grime by rubber boots for long-lasting durability. safety cables are included.
